DETROIT (Reuters) – A 57-year-old Detroit woman avoided serious injury when the underwire on her bra deflected a bullet shot at her from next door, police said.
The woman, who lives on the West side of Detroit, saw a group of men breaking into a neighbor's house on Tuesday morning. When the men spotted her, one of them fired a shot at her, a police spokesman said.
The bullet struck the underwire on the woman's bra and that saved her from a more serious injury, police said.
"It did slow the bullet down," said Detroit police spokesman Phillip Cook. "She sustained injuries but they're not life threatening."
The woman, who was not identified, was treated at a nearby hospital. The suspects in the shooting drove away.
:o If the underwire in her bra was stout enough to deflect a bullet, it must have had a serious workload. :o

Has anyone tried one of these. Thunderwear, now smart carry rigs? All jokes about "is that your Glock or are you just happy to see me"? aside. Do these things work?

Weird undies uncovered

This Wonderbra does more than just give you perky boobs – it could save your life.
German police have invented a new bullet-proof support to protect female cops.
The special bra is designed to be worn under conventional body armour and provides protection from bullets.
But unlike normal bras it won't shatter on impact if blasted with a bullet.
It is just made from fabric and comes with the word “Polizei” plastered on the bottom.
The bullet-proof bra goes straight into the top drawer of wacky underwear.
Here, we've had a rummage through to try some of the strangest out there on for size.
